Get started ↗What Lastnote helps you do
A folder tells someone what you kept. A useful note tells them where to start.
Keep short notes in six familiar categories: documents, home, money and accounts, digital life, people to call, and personal notes. Start with the information someone would otherwise have to hunt for.
The signed documents are in the blue folder in the study. Our adviser’s details are inside.
Reopen with your passkey, change a detail and save. You do not need to bring your family’s keys together for an everyday update. Save a fresh recovery copy after changes.
Moved house? Update where the paperwork lives and who has the spare key.
Let a partner help keep your information current using their own account and passkey. Choose read-only or read-and-edit access to the whole organiser. Recovery keys and account settings stay with you.
Your partner updates the insurance contact while you add the household instructions. You approve access after they accept your invitation.
Plan who keeps each family key and where they can find the encrypted copy. Prepare an individual package with one key and clear instructions. You choose how to deliver it.
Tell each holder what they are keeping, where to find the saved copy and whom to contact.
Optional key checks ask your trustees to confirm they still have their keys. Hosted recovery lets them contribute keys from different places. You can also choose wellbeing check-ins, which start recovery if you stop responding through your chosen grace period.
If a trustee reports a missing key, review the plan and replace your keys while you can still help.
Recovery practice can check the required number of family packages and show the recovered notes while the owner session is locked. A separate recovery tool provides a route outside Lastnote.
Keep the current encrypted copy, enough distinct keys and the recovery tool. Practise with fictional information first.
Room to grow
Six guided starting points suggest useful details. Helpful prompts suggest what to add next and when to revisit an older detail.
Keep documents, photos and other files alongside your information, with a note if useful. On the web, add several files at once. Keep up to 1,000 details in a vault. The encrypted vault can hold up to 100 MB in total, including encryption overhead.
Keep private review dates with your details, or opt into occasional email reminders to revisit your organiser. Change the frequency or turn them off whenever you like. Review reminders never start recovery.
